Dreamed

And while it’s completely true that I’ve not known really good love in my life before now, I think to say I hadn’t even dreamed it might be a stretch. I just didn’t know if such a thing existed. I had gotten to a point in my life where I wanted love to be what I wanted and I set the bar high enough that I knew I might stay single.

It’s not surprising to me that, in re-learning this song after having not played it, I have mistakenly sang, “I never knew”, instead of, “I never dreamed”, only realizing my mistake when “pinch me” decidedly does not rhyme with “knew”.

I wanted a best friend, someone who makes me laugh finds me hilarious, who teaches me and learns from me, who accepts me completely for who I am in every moment and loves me even when I’m being hard on myself, someone who is really fun to be around - I mean like REALLY freaking fun. Someone who knows how to gently remind me of the important things and who teaches me patience and to be kind to myself. Some who I think is really sexy. All of the things! So when I found this and more in Willow, I married her.
